Ok, my wife's Fluval M90 (~40 gal aio) is out of fallow now. I've just added a reef cleaners CuC to it to start and get the algae under control. I'm looking for some good ideas for fish I can add for her. She loves camels, but so far I've only found the Camel Box/cow fish which I'm told needs at least 2-3x the space. Any other fish with Camel in the name?

As far as the tank, it will be a simple soft coral reef (GSP, shrooms, Xenia, pipe organ, and leathers). What interesting (color/behavior) fish would you add? I'm ok with fish that will be good for multiple years, but in 3-5 years my need to be moved up to a larger tank or rehomed (main DT is 92 gallons). Basically, I'm looking for fairly easy (easy to keep and QT), showy fish that we can add. (no clowns)

Right now, I'm totally open to ideas.

Thanks!

So what do you think of this idea for stocking. All of these would be from Biota.

I’m thinking:
3 x Court Jesters
Mandarin Goby (or a pair)
Starry Goby (multiple?)
Coral Beauty
